BACKGROUND: Lactoferrin (Lf) is an 80kDa iron-binding glycoprotein of the transferrin
family. It is abundant in milk and in most biological fluids and is a cell-secreted molecule that …

Lactoferrin (LF), a glycoprotein found in mucosal secretions, is characterized by a wide
range of functions, including immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activities. Moreover …

Lactoferrin, an iron-binding glycoprotein, is a cell-secreted mediator that bridges innate and
adaptive immune function in mammals. It is a pleiotropic molecule that directly assists in the …

Whey, a liquid by-product, is widely accepted to contain many valuable constituents. These
include especially proteins that possess important nutritional and biological properties …

Lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein of the transferrin family. Abundant expression and
secretion of lactoferrin, in particular in milk and fluids of the digestive tract, are related to its …

Mammalian lactoferrin (Lf) receptors are suggested to have pivotal roles for mediating
multiple functions of Lf. In this review, we focus on current knowledge of the structure and …

Lactoferrin, a glycoprotein present in milk, mucosal secretions and neutrophils contributes to
host defense. We have previously shown that orally given milk lactoferrin (LF) mediates anti …

Newborn infants are at a high risk for infection due to an under-developed immune system,
and human milk has been shown to exhibit substantial anti-infective properties that serve to …

Lactoferrin (Lf) is an iron binding glycoprotein of the transferrin family that is expressed in
most biological fluids and is a major component of mammals' innate immune system. Its …

Lactoferrin (Lf) belongs to the family of antimicrobial molecules that constitute the principal
defense line of nonvertebrate organisms. In human immunity, their roles are considerably …
